The Columbia Comedy Shorts by Ted Okuda
Columbia produced over 500 two-reel shorts from 1933 through 1958, with Hollywood's finest comics (the Three Stooges, Andy Clyde, Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, Charley Chase, others). Fully illustrated with never-before-published photographs, the book chronicles the history of all, including interviews with the veterans. The filmography covers all of the 526 two-reelers: credits, date, synopsis.

Superb research is evident throughout...the rare stills reproduced here are just another reason for fans of Golden Age comedy to hunt the book down now”—Film Review.
